Michael Barnes uses his work to investigate and reflect on his own subconscious. His recent body of work focuses on human nature, which often desires to control and to possess. Says the artist: “The strange hybrid, mutated creatures are the bi-product of this trait. They are domesticated. However, they are domesticated beyond recognition and beyond any level of self-identity or function." Barnes has had numerous residencies, including two at the Frans Masereel Centrum Residency in Kasterlee, Belgium. An assistant professor of art in printmaking at Northern Illinois University, he has exhibited his work widely in regional, national and international exhibitions.
